Pick yourself up, like leaves in the fall.

Watch out for cliff hangers.

They will pick you up,
and you'll never fall down.

That is, until you meet the conclusion within
yourself.
and you just give up.

Then you'll be dropped.
But not too fast.
Actually.
Pretty slow.
You'll float back down,
like a leaf or a petal,
Like you weigh
nothing.

However, once you hit the ground.
It won't be the same place you were before.
It'll be different.  Changed.
Will you get back into your old swing?
Or find a newer, cooler swing?
Another beat to carry your step.
Maybe a slow thud of a bass line
bends yours knees,
and the snare of a drum
launches each step with a snap.

Once you have a groove,
change it up.
Play some trembly highs with your eyes.
Sway to those mid tones with your waist.
Fall in both directions,
and melt into the mix.

Your sight will dither,
You will get farther from reality with each step.
And maybe find something new.
Something awe inspiring.
Each step you take, farther into the beyond.
Will change you.
Don't be afraid,
if you know your steps are in the right direction.
Don't look back.
It'll slow you down.
You only have so much time.

Go for it.

Inspire.
